If you avoid payments as per court orders, you may also be hauled in contempt. The liability towards maintenance amount cannot be avoided. If you live with your parents, even your parents' property can be attached towards your liability. The court may also restrain you from leaving the country and direct you to deposit your passport in court.

The only way is : avoid dispute and try to reach an amicable out of court settlement.
